Passage: Psalm 23 Key Verse: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” Psalm 23:4 It happened last Sunday. As churches across America started celebrating Thanksgiving week, I had a front-seat opportunity to witness thanksgiving attitudes from two opposite altitudes: the valley and the mountaintop.

Guest Post by Carol Kelly – “Need Rest?”
I think it was that great saint, Corrie Ten Boom, who said, "When I look at the world, I am distressed. When I look within myself, I am depressed. But when I look to God, I am at rest."

Mais tarde, eu cheguei à conclusão de que eu estou vivendo num outro mundo: eu sou provavelmente a única mulher que nunca ouviu falar a respeito do cantor canadense.
